Ingredients
- 4 medium beetroots
- 1 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the beetroots thoroughly under cold water, scrubbing off any dirt. Trim the tops and the roots, and peel the beetroots using a vegetable peeler.
Step 3
Slice the beetroots into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place them in a large bowl.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the mixture along with the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Pour the olive oil and vinegar mixture over the beetroot slices. Toss the beetroots until they are evenly coated in the dressing.
Step 6
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the beetroot slices out in a single layer.
Step 7
Bake the beetroots in the preheated oven for approximately 60 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 8
Once done, remove the beetroots from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the oven-baked beetroot as a side dish or as a topping for salads, and enjoy!
